Anesthesia
We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient’s vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures. Intravenous catheters and fluid therapy are a must during all general anesthesias as well as appropriate pain medication.
Behavioral Counseling
We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.
Boarding
We recommend several local boarding facilities as well as pet sitters.
Bathing
We recommend checking the phone directory or internet for groomers. We are not set up in our facility for this service. There are mobile groomers available.
Cardiology Services
ECG’s are evaluated by boarded veterinarians at the Institute of Veterinary Specialists in Gainesville via telephone. If a more extensive cardiac evaluation is needed echocardiograms are available once a month here in Jacksonville.
Dentistry
Dental care is very important to pets. Under general anesthesia,we provide ultrasonic scaling and polishing of the teeth as well as any needed extractions.
For extensive dental work such as orthodontics, root canals, fractured jaws and other surgeries involving the oral cavity we refer to Dr. Sharon Hoffman – our local boarded veterinary dentist.
